Yes.  That's exactly the thing 13.  I took a few people to see Rawat over the years - people I liked and respected  - resulting -inexplicably to me at the time - in no further interest at all.  

Premie explanation  - they just didn't have that thirst?  But there is a huge problem with that.  To believe that you implicitly had to believe that 'we' premies were inherently 'better' in some way than most everyone else in so much as  we had 'that thirst' and accordingly could recognise the perfect master whereas nearly everyone else couldn't.  Therefore we premies were in some sense an elite - the chosen few - in fact I even recall some bullshit 'satsang' in the early days that we were the reincarnated souls of those that that heard the sermon on the mount or whatever.

The truth is that part of being a premie - and premie identity - was just one big spiritual ego trip. Premies fed Rawat's weird egotistical need --but the converse - validation of premies as an elite cognoscenti was also an implicit  part of the trip.  It's the dark side of being a premie.   Of course the joke is actually on premies -  being a premie certainly marks you out in wider society as something -- but spiritual elite it certainly ain't!
